During impeachment, Republicans said “let the voters decide.” Now that the voters have decided and Trump has lost, Republicans are suing to overturn the election. It's clear it was never about the voters, our constitution, or our democracy. Only staying in power.

Trump on Putin: "He said he didn't meddle” in our election On MBS: He “vehemently denies” arranging Khashoggi's murder On Kim: “I will take him at his word” on Otto Warmbier's death Trump has yet to find a dictator he won't trust over our own intel agencies Or common sense.

Good news: If you failed to disclose numerous meetings with hostile foreign powers and amended your financial disclosures 40+ times, you too can obtain a security clearance in Trump's Administration! *Offer only valid to those married to the President's daughter or named Jared.

Trump was just indicted by federal prosecutors for trying to overturn the 2020 election. We’re coming toward an inflection point— and a fraught moment in the history of our democracy. But frankly, considering the interests of justice and the rule of law, it’s about damn time.

If Rep. Adam Schiff has his way, the Secret Service wouldn't be able to pay any businesses owned, operated by Trump.

The President of the United States is an imminent danger to our nation and democracy. He incited a violent mob attack on the Capitol. He turned on his own citizens to hold onto power. He should be removed. Either through resignation, the 25th Amendment or impeachment.

The idea of congressional oversight is alien to the president, and who can blame him? For two years, the GOP did nothing but shield him from accountability. Those days are over. We will not choose between our legislative and oversight responsibilities. Congress must do both.

The Justice Department cannot take the position that a sitting president can’t be indicted, and at the same time withhold evidence of any wrongdoing. That would amount to immunity. We will do what is necessary to make sure Mueller’s report is made public.

Rep. Adam Schiff tells me he is “absolutely” prepared to sue Trump administration if Mueller report is not made public: “We will obviously subpoena the report. We will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress. We will take it to court if necessary”

Kevin McCarthy is desperate to keep the support of Trump and his House backers. He’ll do whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene and the QAnon caucus wants. And that means following the wishes of the lowest common denominator. Brace yourselves America. The clown car has come to town.

You name it, House and Senate Republicans are opposed to it: COVID relief? Against it. Student debt? That too. Voting rights? They want to make it harder to vote. Climate action? Nope. Getting more people healthcare? Never. What are they for? Nothing but themselves.

Good news! Convicted of a serious crime? Serving a long sentence? Now, you too can get a pardon. No more lengthy delays while DOJ reviews your case. You can be out in days!* *Offer only valid if recommended by friends or family of @POTUS or you appeared on Celebrity Apprentice.

McConnell is promising that if he retakes the Senate, he won’t confirm a Biden Supreme Court Justice. Just as he refused with President Obama. Never mind that he forced through the last Trump nominee WHILE PEOPLE WERE VOTING. He must never be allowed to run the Senate again.

President Biden delivered on his promise to cancel student loans, and now a reactionary Supreme Court has overturned it. Fortunately, the administration is going to use other means to deliver relief to borrowers. Let’s break down what they’re doing:

Remember when Republicans said they wouldn't cut Medicare and Medicaid to pay for their #GOPTaxScam ? Well, Trump's budget cuts Medicare by $840 billion and Medicaid by $241 billion. In contrast, Democrats want to expand healthcare for all. The choice couldn't be clearer.

We did not come to Congress to impeach this President. We came to fight for health care, gun reform, voting rights, equal pay. But history called upon us to uphold our oath. And we have. Together, we will emerge from this dark chapter. And make our democracy stronger still.

The #GOPTaxScam increased taxes for 10m Americans, and doubled the number of companies who paid nothing. The majority of corporate savings went to stock buybacks, not workers or investments. And now the GOP wants to cut Medicare and Social Security to pay for it. Some tax day.

Last night, not a single Republican raised their hand when asked whether they believe climate change is caused by humans. Not one. The petroleum industry owns them lock, stock and oil barrel. It’s as pathetic as it is dangerous.

We all knew this was coming. After a massive tax cut for the wealthy that lead to trillion dollar deficits, Trump now says it’s time to look at cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Once again, he wants working Americans to pay the bill for corporations and billionaires.

In 2016, Trump campaigned on saving Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without cuts. Not anymore. Asked in Davos if cuts to welfare programs are on the table he said: "At the right time, we will take a look at that.” w/ @maggieNYT
